Hello everyone,
This is my first attempt at building a Proton Gun so bear with me. Feedback is definitely appreciated!
1. To begin with, I purchased ThrowingChicken's Gun Kit v3.0. After drilling out some of the holes, I spray painted everything using "Krylon: Bright Metallic Finish". Once the gun is assembled, I'll finish it with the Black Satin and Flat.
2. Once the pieces dried, I attached the rear cylinder using a 10-24 x 3/4" screw.
3. Next I added the rear handle using a 9 1/2 inch, 1-1/4" OD x 1.010 ID x .120" Wall 6061-T6 Aluminum Tube from Speedy Metals (www.speedymetals.com). I cut the tip to open up some space in the gun and then superglued it in place.
*Lucky for me, JOE LUNA from the "Ghostbusters of So Cal" informed me that my rear handle was a half inch too long. He also mentioned that my rear handle positioning was partially blocking the box light openings to a degree. Needless to say, I made the corrections.
That's it for tonight! More to come soon!
